When and why did you start training for fighting? I started back in 2006 when my friend took me to a training session. I liked it so much that after a few weeks I wanted to compete.

What ranks and titles have you held? I've been M-1 GLOBAL heavyweight champion, M-1 heavyweight Grand Prix 2013 champion, ranked the No 1 Polish heavyweight. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Khabib. I admire his tenacity, relentless in wrestling, his calm attitude during his fights. 

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's a dream come true, and an example that hard work always pays off.

What fight do you consider to be the key fight in your career and why? I had some big fights with the best in the world like current champion Tom Aspinall and former champs Andrei Arlovski and Fabricio Werdum but my personal favourite was fighting Tai Tuivasa and getting the job done in 1st round.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I earned a masters degree at Uniwersytet Lodzki

What was your job before you started fighting? I did many things: worked at the bar, builder, removal guy, farmer

Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Two-time Polish amateur champion, multi-medalist in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 

Ranks in any martial arts styles: BJJ black belt

Beyond a championship or money, what motivates you? I want to be better every single day both in and outside the Octagon. I am still getting better fighter and I love that game. I know there's a bunch of Young heavyweights that are looking to take my spot but I am ready for them while looking at the top of the ranking.

Favorite grappling technique: Rear naked choke

Favorite Striking technique: Don't have one

Tell us about your life outside of fighting: I love to travel. With my wife Agata we've been all over the globe. Usually we're taking our dogs with us.
